Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

with that template in mind, let's check,

\bf f(x)=-3^{\stackrel{B}{2}x\stackrel{C}{-4}}\qquad \qquad g(x)=-3^{2x}\implies  g(x)=-3^{\stackrel{B}{2}x\stackrel{C}{+0}}

notice, g(x) has a horizontal shift of C/B or +0/2, or just 0, none.

while f(x) has a horizontal shift of C/B or -4/2, or -2, to the right.

so f(x) is really just g(x), but shifted horizontally over 2 units to the right.

Triangle ABC IS an isosceles triangle AB=BC m
True [87]

Answer:

<em>The measure of angle A is 73°</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Isosceles Triangles</u>

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with exactly two congruent sides. The angles the congruent sides form with the third side are also equal.

The triangle ABC is isosceles and AB congruent with BC. The angle at B measures 34°.

The other two angles are congruent, i.e. their measures are the same. Since the internal angles of a triangle sum 180°:

2*m\angle A=180^\circ - 34^\circ =146^\circ

Thus:

m\angle A=146^\circ /2=73^\circ

The measure of angle A is 73°
